THE SEw YEAR PaRTr.

The party at Tie Pacific hotel on New
Years eve, was, probably, the most
brilliant sccialevent in the history of
Caldwell society. Everybody came to
have good time, and the floor man.
ayers made il their special duty to see
that they had it. Dancing commenced
| at O'Clock, and the gallant lads and
fair lassies merrily trippod the eight
fantastic toe" until the wee SINAI hours.
A lunch was served vt tho hall, which
was both neat and substantial. The old
yearswas danced out and the new one
in, and as it was enjoyed SO hugely by
all present, it was agreed by common
consent TO meet New Years night and
continue tho festivities.
On New Years day while preparing
the hall for the evenings enjoyment,
j. o. Baker,. as representative of the
Social Club, presented to Mrs. Swain
Beatty three fine parlor chairs, and to
Miss Della Gilgsn handsome plush
hand bag and plush mirror, the best
that money could buy. The two ladies
mentioned had worked hard and faith
fully in obtaining lunch, ETC., and to
their efforts the SUCCESS of the evening
is attributed. Below is the presenta-
ton speech made by Mr.. Baker;
Mrs. beatty, Miss CmGAN:-
members of tho Caldwell Social Club
and Caldwell Cornet Band have dele
gated to me the honor OF thanking you
for your valuable services rendered us
during the ere of our Christmas and
New Year parties, in aiding, superin-
tending and making our suppers thor
ough success. We know of no more
fitting manner of showing 70 you our
appreciation of your efforts, than in
thee small offerings, which we trust
you will accept.
To you, Mrs. Beatty, elbow me, as
their representative, to present these
substantial and useful ornaments
for your home, where we shall ever
pray you may find the greatest hsppi-
ness.
To you, Miss Della, we tender these
small articles for your use, and trust
that while using them, you may have
only pleasant reco,leciions OF our past
Christmas and Now Year parties.
Permit us to again thank you, and
assure you these are indeed slight testi
monials of our gratitude compared with
Che friendship aud esteem we all have
for you.

1t is perfectly prepostcrous 10 introduce
pepsin and other artificial solvents into the
stomach, in the expectation that they will as
sist digestion by acting on the food itself.
They will not. Nor is it possible to thus
overcome dyspepsia. The only way to con-
quer that disorder, and prevent the numerous
diseases and disabilities which it assuredly
provokcs, is to renew the activity of gastric
action by Strengthening the stomach. Hos
letters stomach bitters eradicates the most
inveterate forms of indigestion by restoring
vitality TO the alnnentary organs, and those
which are tributary to them. The liver, the
bowels, the kidneys and nerves, no less than
the stomach, experience the invigorating
effects Of that standard tonic, which possesses
alternate properties and greatly enhance It's
beneficial influence, and give permanence
TO its effect, which they would not otherwise
possess.

in in our last issue in giving the
account OF the Green shooting sorape,
we stated that A. Anderson, foreman
of tho Parma section, was q half brother
of Green, tho wonld-be murderer. Mr..
Anderson writes us that it is t. mistake;
that no is Norwegian while Greon is
Sweed; that no is in no way related
to Green, and that until recently he
never saw him. We received our in
formation from parties whom We sup
posed knew, but it seems they were
mistaken. THE TRIBUNE cheerfnlly
corrects the mistake.

Some OF the oldest and most estimable
cltlzens of Shawneetown were talked with
IN regard to this tradition of the parentage
Of Gen. Posey. They had heard it as far
oack as they could remember, and with
such postiveness that they looked upon it as
Mne,racious, although unwritten history
There was no question, they said, but that
ThoSe who lived in Shawneetown when
fosey did regarded him as the son of Wash
lln2ton. One fact in the way Of corrobora-
1--WE testimony was the striking resemblance
IN form and feature. This resemblance was
transmitted 10 the sons Of Gen. Posey, and
added to the strength of the tradition.
The oldest physician in Shawneetown,
WHO in his youth was the family doctor OF
the Poseys and who attended one of the sons
81 the General at his death, said to the
writer that he had heard the story when he
came TO Shawneetown to settle This ply
ncians professional relations with the family
gave him opportunities to satisfy his curl
aoslty, and he improved them. Said he:
There is no doubt in my mind that Gen.
ptosey was the son Of George Washington;

THE SON OF WASHINGTON.
Shawneetown's Remarkable Tradition
and What it Rests Upon.

ebAIA w LOU IL INCoGS OPohs
From the 81, Louis Globe Democrat.
WASHINGTON, April Elm the cemetery
at Shawneetown, ILL.,, there is pointed out a
tomb with the explanation that beneath is
buried ''the son of George Washington"
But Washington had no children" the
visitor argues. HE was the father of his
country, and that was the extent of his
paternity"
The ShG,Cneetownsmon repeats his asser-
ton and stoutly stands by it. He refers to
the Oldest and most respected inhabitants of
the once proud metropolis of the Ohio Val
ley to back him up. If the visitor is of an
inquiring turn of mind he will soon find
that all Shawneetown believes this tradition,
and those who have lived in the ancient city
longest have the strongest faith. They
got the story from their parents who lived
mShawneetown before them, and there has
never been any doubt about the truth of it.
The tomb has many counterparts in the
Old graveyards of this country Four slabs
form the sides and ends, while a fifth slabs
forms the top, the edge artistically bevelled
and overlapping, The stones are still in a
good state OF preservation, and the letter
ing, now much more than half century
Old, Is distinct. On the top slab is the fol-
lowing:
In the memory of Gen. Thomas Posey,
who was born in 1850, and died in 1918,
aged " years and 10 days. He was an
honest man and pious Christian.
